Udaipur, Nov 29: Despite a seven-month shoulder injury layoff, young judoka Jaanvi Yadav clinched her second successive Khelo India University Games medal, a gold, underscoring her rapid rise and proving that financial constraints cannot hold back genuine talent.
Jaanvi made a remarkable return to the mat after a left shoulder injury almost ended her career by clinching the 48kg gold here to add to the bronze she had won last year in Guwahati for Guru Nanak Dev University.
The daughter of a courier company employee, Jaanvi and her parents endured a distressing ordeal in Delhi when they were duped of Rs 2.5 lakh after being misled with false promises of participation in an international event.
Their visas for France never arrived on time for the 19th ISF World School Gymnasiade in Normandy, leaving many sportspersons and their parents financially strained. (PTI)
